The town has issued its last available funds to buy a local Victorian mansion. It's a plan that Kate would be happy to help get off the ground. . .if only she didn't have such bad memories associated with that mansion. Is Kate ready to do business--or is this job too personal for her own good? Then, one day while touring the property, Kate stumbles over a dead body. Impossibly, the victim is none other than Kate's high-school nemesis Cordelia Walker. Soon Kate is immersed in a murder investigation and with the history of the old Victorian.
